This article contains tips and tricks to help you get the most out of sequencing.
Sequence frequently throughout your day
NowGo is dynamic and designed to adapt to changes as they come up through the day. As you receive new jobs, update your sequence to find out if you can get your work done faster.
Ensure your stop data is correct
NowGo relies on whatever is in the address field, so always make sure you have the most accurate location information available. You can also help by correcting addresses or other information when you notice a problem.
Sequence before loading your vehicle
This can help you to make sure you use load sortation to load your vehicle in reverse order. This can save you time on the road because the next package you need is right to hand.
Sequence when you get to the suburb you want to start at
Drive to the location you want to start your shift at, and run the sequence to get a job order that starts where you are.
Set an end location
If you have to return to a specific location or depot at the end of the day, make sure you set your end location for your shift. You can also do this if you are finishing your shift at home, or by picking up your children from school. Setting an end location for your shift can improve job sequencing through the day, and can reduce the distance it takes to drive from your last job to the end location.
Sequence again after making manual changes
You might find you can perform jobs out of order by looking at the map view directly. For example, you might be able to walk between buildings in the CBD, or some stops might be on the other side of a street that is safe to cross. If you perform some stops out of order, sequence again to make sure you're back on the right track for the rest of your jobs. If your company shares ETA information with your customers, make sure you are not breaking any customer promises or time windows by doing jobs out of order.
